Hi All, from what I recall of the previous Mbh panel at Boston, we had a room full of attendees but most were not experts, i.e., school teachers or religion teachers who wanted to know how to teach the Mbh, what editions to use, which stories/abridged editions are good as introductions, etc. I know we are not supposed to present papers at a roundtable, so I thought I would put together some of this basic information for sharing and leave more time for a conversation. Let's keep it open and interactive and see what people think of the 5-year plans... i.e., just Mbh, Mbh and Ram, epics and Purāṇas, etc. I am happy to open it up completely if that ensures more participation. I'd definitely like to keep one year for translations and one for Mbh/Ram in other countries (about which I know all too little).
